Santa Claus is coming to town
The Salvation Army is collecting newly purchased toy donations at Lansdowne Park on Sunday morning, with up to 100 local families expected to benefit. And the jolly man himself visits Picton on Sunday afternoon; at Nelson Square at 1.30pm, the library car park about 2pm, the Port Marlborough Endeavour Park Pavilion about 2.30pm, and the Waikawa Bay car park about 3pm. Bring your letter to Father Christmas (make sure your home address is on it for a reply) and look for the red mailbox at each stop!

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
